Report finds malware is no longer the biggest cyberthreat to smaller businesses

The largest cyber threat facing small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) is not malware, but the abuse of legitimate tools and non-malware mechanisms, according to a report from Huntress Labs. Threat actors are exploiting remote monitoring and management software and the prevalence of cloud platforms. The company recommends SMBs integrate multifactor authentication, enhance visibility into potential threats, and remain vigilant for new tactics including identity spoofing.
